111 Metal

About the 111 Metal

The Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal is a high-end, manually operated belt-drive turntable built around a heavy, resonance-optimized aluminum chassis and a large precision-machined aluminum platter. It uses a separately housed Berger Lahr AC synchronous motor, microprocessor-controlled quartz speed regulation, and electronically selectable 33.3 and 45 rpm speeds with user-adjustable fine tuning. The supplied configuration is commonly listed with an Acoustic Solid WTB 370 tonearm and cartridge, although other listings describe the turntable as available without a tonearm or with different arm/cartridge packages. Published specifications vary by production version and configuration, particularly platter mass, chassis dimensions, overall weight, and included tonearm. it appears to remain listed by multiple dealers, so it should not be classified as no longer manufactured.
